After a long and very cold journey on the overnight train from Chiang Mai (The air conditioning was blasting all night) we got back to Bangkok and it was the end of the second tour. After a farewell breakfast I randomly bumped into Tegan from the first tour and we had a wander around the streets of Bangkok.
We walked from Khao San Road in Banglamphu to Siam Square in downtown Bangkok where all the shops seem to be, it took us a couple of hours and there were plenty of random monuments and temples along the way, which made it pretty interesting. After getting to Siam Square, we'd had enough of walking and so got the Skytrain to the river and then a river boat back to Banglamphu, where we walked into a parade for the Songkram festival for the Thai new year, which was happening in a week.
The next day before getting on another overnight train, I headed to the Grand Palace which was spectacularly ornate and packed out with tourists and Thai's paying their respects to the Queen Mother who had recently passed.
